Well I finally finished P&P. I had a hard time getting into it at first and I don't know why since I love the movie so much. Maybe because the movie gives you instant gratification. But at least now I can say I read it.

I got a chance to watch The Women last weekend. The orginal. I love that movie even though my kids make fun of the ending. Yeah, I know she was a little over the top. Sigh, I love my TCM.

I found this really funky old bookstore in Terrell, TX called Books and Crannies. It smells like a very old public library, probably because that is where all the books are from. There is a cat named Mattie that lives there (little old lady runs the joint) since Hurricane Katrina displaced her and she prefers the Boxcar children section it seems. I noticed in the very back there is a little theatre, all black bricked with a big projection pull down. Every Friday night the little old lady shows an old movie of her choosing for her and anyone to enjoy. Hubby and I went last Friday and enjoyed "Made for Each Other" staring Carole Lombard and Jimmy Stewart.

I don't watch many old movies. My general rule is that if it was in black and white or technicolor I'm out. But sitting among all the older people (We were the young uns'---that's what they kept calling us) as they talked about 1939 (that's the year the movie was made) and them sharing stories of old movie stars, it was very cool.

price of a movie ticket- zero dollarspopcorn and drink -donation dollarsHubby thinking purring Mattie was an old person behind us----priceless.

Tried reading Wuthering Heights---can't do it. I detest all things Austen. Did read Catcher in the Rye---not a fan of Holden's. Classics that I enjoy are probably like Wind in the Willows and The Whipping Boy. And anything Judy Blume.

TV Classics---Macgyver lol, Out of this World (anyone remember that show?) My Two Dads, Alf and Melrose Place. Those are all classics to me!

I just finished Pride & Prejudice today. At first i thought it was boring, but once I got into it, I really started to enjoy it. Now I'm onto Sense & Sensibility, and I'll read Wuthering Heights after that.

It was actually Twilight that made me want to start reading the classics. SM loosely based the Twilight saga off of some classics (Pride & Prejudice, Romeo & Juliet, Wuthering Heights, The Merchant of Venice).

Ugh, I can't find any Shakespeare in my school library, so I'm going to look at the public library over spring break. I read Romeo & Juliet for English, but I HATED IT. I love Shakespeare's style of writing, but the story just irritated the heck out of me.

Yes, I love Harry Potter. Yes, I am in Slytherin. Will that be a problem?Team Taylor and Team RobertI'm baaaack! (and fangirlier than ever!!!)If you know how to make banners/avatars, please pm me, cuz I'm in desperate need of one!

Yeah, I agree with you on that Sterling Snow.I can't get into Shakespeare because of his story lines. Romeo&Juliet bugged the heck out of me. And I didn't care for Taming of the Shrew, either. Those are really the only 2 Shakespeares that I've read, but I know a lot of the plots of his other books and they seem just as bad.

I finished reading Wuthering Heights and i enjoyed it much more than Pride & Prejudice. It was darker and more passionate. It made me cry, too, which doesn't happen a lot when I read.
